UConn Baseball’s tournament-opening game against Cincinnati was moved a day earlier due to the threat of weather in the area on Wednesday. The Huskies overcame the late change with a 12-3 win over the Bearcats and got Wednesday off as a reward.
UConn will take on the No. 2 Houston Cougars at 3 p.m. on Thursday with the same stakes on the line. The winner will get a bye to Saturday’s semifinals and will only have to win once on Saturday to make it to Sunday’s winner-take-all final.
The Huskies and Cougars played from May 5-7 and Houston took two out of three.
